had a fun time, loved the game shed & patio/fire pit area. wish there had actually been 5 kayaks as the listing said (there was only 1). other than that, great house, would definitely stay here again
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this adorable property. The house was extremely clean and our teens loved the game shed and fire pit. This is a cute house in an up and coming neighborhood. Major plus it is close to both the boat launch and restaurants/breweries!
Quiet neighborhood, great back yard and game shed. Nice open first floor concept with all bedrooms upstairs. Loved that their was air in each room. Also happy we could fit our boat trailer in the driveway. It was a wonderful trip for us.
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and located close to hiking, restaurants, etc.
We enjoyed the game shed and especially the outdoor fireplace in the evenings.
Would stay again.
We enjoyed our 3 day stay at this beautiful home. There was plenty to do and when we wanted to relax we were very comfortable. Thank you for hosting us. We all had a great time!
Thanks for Matt and Erin for hosting our first visit to the area. House was exactly as promised. Game shed was a huge hit with the two six-year olds. Backyard was perfect for a fire and s'mores.
This property was great! Clean and bright - everything seems new. This had everything we needed to relax; games, books, record player etc. Outside is even better, nice size yard that had a great firepit area - completely fenced so the dogs could run around. Loved the game shed in the back! Very quiet neighborhood but close to everything. Loved it and will be back.
We stayed for 7 nights to visit family. The layout is as presented; furnishings are newer and in good condition as is the kitchen equipment. The kitchen is fully equipped for everyday meals. Wall mounted screens allow access to streaming services; the yard is fenced and comes with a fun game shed! The neighborhood and location in relation to the lake is very good. Two items that we had a problem with. The bed in the primary bedroom felt like one your son found in his dorm room, not very comfortable. The other item of note is that the home needs a good, deep cleaning. The service the owners use do a quick surface cleaning but don't appear to go beyond that. The windows, exterior doors, and floors throughout the home are the worst. If the owners clean it up and invest in a better frame/box spring and mattress for the primary suite, we'll be back.

The operator responded promptly to communications and was helpful and cordial. The house was clean, neat, cozy, and homey. Not elegant, but casual, relaxed and family style. Just right for us. If I go up that way again, I will definitely stay there. As a matter of fact, knowing that place is there makes it more likely I will return and spend more time there. It couldn't have been much better.

The house was clean, convenient to everything and comfortable. Plenty of space and loved the game shed. Nice fenced yard for the dogs. The hosts were excellent with communication. We would definitely book this house again! 5 stars all the way around!
The location was excellent. The house was on a quiet street in a quaint, lakeside community. The house was very comfortable and had everything to make for a very pleasant and comfortable stay. We can highly recommend this property.

Nice home in Hawley, close to the downtown and other activities in the area. Host is responsive to questions and needs. Would recommend if you are in the Pocono region.
Our week at Lake Wally was rainy, but we still enjoyed it because the house was comfortable, clean and well furnished. Great location on the lake, in proximity to a lot of great places.

This little lake cottage is perfect! Nicely renovated with a full kitchen & 3 bedrooms - all really cozy & comfy. We LOVED it!
Nice place, kids loved it!
The fireplace out back could be switched we tried every night to get a fire started and it kept going out, I even bought fire starter.
We had a wonderful stay at Matt’s property on the lake. The house was in close proximity to the town of Hawley as well as breweries and other restaurants. We were able to bring our dog which helped with the convenience of booking this trip and property. The house had everything we needed and the outdoor fire pit made for a great night with family. I would highly recommend this property especially if you are traveling with your furry friends!
We had a really nice stay! The coffee machine wasn’t working and the owners got us a new one immediately- on Christmas Eve no less! My in laws live on the lake and it’s nice for us to have a place on our own while we visit. Will book again!
Overall, this is a nice place and we consider staying again. Details like the game shed, fenced in backyard and puppy bowls and treats for furry friends set it apart. The yard is spacious. Pretty kid friendly and had basics for cooking. Also note that many restaurants around the area close pretty early and/or close several days a week, so something to consider. We traveled in the summertime so really peak season for the Poconos. If you're traveling in slower months, I imagine there might be even less options. Pros: It's quiet and secluded, so very relaxing. The space is ample so even with 5 people we didn't feel like we were on top of each other. Indoor and outdoor dining options - cute breakfast nook inside and picnic table outside. The fire pit gave a great vibe and gave us the perfect mix of outdoor (camp-like) experience with the comforts of home. The hosts did a great job of communicating directions and leaving helpful information in the house. And, as mentioned before, the fenced in backyard and game shed.Cons: Because of the secluded location, you really can't walk anywhere because everything is private property - so no morning strolls, you will need to get in the car and drive to one of the trails. The beds are uncomfortable. For rentals, it's pretty standard not have to the MOST comfortable beds, but these were worth noting. When using hot water the whole house rumbles (sure there's a reason, but just kind of odd). The cleanliness of the house was lacking.
We were looking for a place to meet in the middle with enough room for all of us to spend the holidays together. The fenced yard was a big draw for the dogs. The host was very accommodating when challenges arose with the weather, lots of thoughtful little touches like the snow shovel outside where we could get it on arrival. We had a lovely time celebrating around the cozy fireplace. Close by grocery store for everything we needed.
